It's cool. If you have any other questions about this just ask.
 
Re: Here it is people the moment we've all been waiting for

Does anyone else think that pointing this controller at the screen for several hours at a time could be tiresome?

sissy... :lol :D

J/K

If you can hold up a normal controller... you can hold this and use it.

Bv :hat
 
Re: Here it is people the moment we've all been waiting for

usually when i hold a controller i hold it down and my arms dont move at all
 
Re: Here it is people the moment we've all been waiting for

I'm more of a freakazoid when it comes to holding controllers. I shake the thing all over the place and get kind of animated.
Yes, I also shout at the screen during football games like it's going to matter. And yes, I talk with my hands too. Even on the phone.
I like this controller, and I like it even more knowing that it will have attatchments to make other games a bit easier and fimiliar.

Thats cool that MS is giving respect to Nintendo.

fatty I will get you your article. I thought I posted it on these boards but I guess not. I have to look for it on other message boards. But like I said in the previous post, as of right now they are including it. Dont know if it will once it is released. You can see a mock up done by IGN.com at the top of this page.
 
Re: Here it is people the moment we've all been waiting for

I know the mock up your talking about I have seen and it does look nice, but IGN made that not Nintendo.

um.....yeah thats what I said. Do you just skim through my posts? Not that it matters, I was just wondering. :)
 
Re: Here it is people the moment we've all been waiting for

Na I don't skim through your posts. I just don't think you got my main point of my post... My point was to say that I have already seen the mock up before because you told me I can look it up on IGN. The IGN not Nintendo made it part was just restating what you said. I know my typing sucks and can be hard to understand sometime, but whatever...

If you can hold up a normal controller... you can hold this and use it.

I'm not conciouse of how I hold it though. In fact, I'm pretty sure I don't hold it so it points at the TV. It usually depends how I'm sitting, but it could be pointing up if I'm tucking my knees in, down if I'm sitting on the edge of my chair or just holding my arms down, and if I'm playing multiplayer, forget about it...

I'm just saying, holding the controller in a certain way could get kind of annoying unless you sit completely motionless for a couple hours at a time.
 
Re: Here it is people the moment we've all been waiting for

you go to one forum where somebody expresses interest in the controller early in the thread and the replies applaud the new design. Here everyone is skeptical. let me just say this- videogame controllers are the only two handed interfaces in technology. ipods, cell phones, tv remotes, mouses, even digital cameras are too small to be comforatble to hold with two hands. The full 3 dimensionality of movement is something all controlers to date have been incapable of. in addition the simplicity of control afforded by this controller will greatly soften the learning curve, requiring less prior experience and coordition to play the games. its impossible to really see how the revolution will fare in the markets but at least its distinctive. skepitcal is fun but think of it like alchohol- tastes like crap at first but then you figure out what its good for. then again im not sure of the ages of the participants on this forum so maybe it was a moot analogy.

whats progress in videogames anyways? i believe its realism. and from that warrant lies the true power of this controller. better graphics arent as real as 3 dimensions. (think starfox)

PS nintendo invented the Dpad. bet there were lots of people partial to the joy stick, shouting herecy back then too.
 
Re: Here it is people the moment we've all been waiting for

Good points. I've gone to a few message boards and they are all skeptical so it depends on the MB. Progression for me is having all the newest technology implemented into a game but still make it FUN. It should still have great gameplay. That will never change.

True. It isn't the controller, it is how the controller is used. But that isn't 100% of the factor. If the controller is uncomfortable to use, or unweildy for certain games, then it is no good.
 
Re: Here it is people the moment we've all been waiting for

Remember this: we're still emulating 3D in a 2D interface. I want virtual reality.
 
Re: Here it is people the moment we've all been waiting for

Well, this remote control isn't it :p

Virtual Reality would be awesome! But, I could see some MAJOR problems with it...
